ADVOCATES NON-DISCRIMINATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS
A group of civil society organizations has charged President Tinubu to construct an executive constitutional alteration on affirmative action as part of his restructuring policy to address the underrepresented groups in Nigeria.
They said year in women, youths, and persons with disabilities are continually marginalized despite the 35 percent affirmative action on gender representation in decision-making.
At a Global Rights’ Intergenerational Fireside Dialogue titled “Navigating the Civic Space and Advancing Inclusivity with Nigeria’s New Administration” a panelist and development consultant, Jide Ojo said the constitutional alteration will clearly define the rights of women and persons with disabilities in governance, adding that adequate preparation ahead of 2027 will enhance the country’s law for inclusive governance.
